Logitek1 Introduction

About Mosaic Art meets technology in the Mosaic digital console, the latest in control surface designs from Logitek Electronic Systems. As with its namesake, the Mosaic is composed of a series of pieces (modules) to provide the highest possible flexibility in design and operation while bringing you an attractive visual centerpiece for your broadcast installations. First released in 2005, Mosaic was designed to replace the Numix series of consoles, and adds many new features, including multi-color on/off lamps, variable intensity softkey buttons, and single-button access to more functions. The Mosaic surface is based on a series of modules that can be configured to suit the user’s requirements. These modules include:

MLX-FADER Fader Module (double width) MLX-MON Monitor Module (double width) MLX-NSOFT Narrow Softkey Module (single width) MLX-WSOFT Wide Softkey Module (double width) MLX-EQ Audio Processing Module (double width) MLX-BLANK Blank Module (single width)

In addition, the Monitor Bridge is available in both wide and narrow form factor. The main frame is available in a number of different sizes to accommodate a variety of console sizes and fader numbers. The frame is designed to be sunken into a desk for permanent installation.

Logitek1 Introduction

System Requirements Mosaic is designed to connect to a Logitek Audio Engine running DSP version 3.x or later. Certain Mosaic functions may require a specific type or release of DSP card. Contact Logitek Electronic Systems or your reseller if you are unsure, or are adding a Mosaic surface to a pre-existing Logitek facility.

System Architecture Put simply, the Mosaic surface is just a remote control panel for the Audio Engine. Unlike traditional analog consoles, no audio passes through the Mosaic or its faders (with the exception of the cue speaker audio). The Mosaic talks to the Audio Engine using the Logitek Command Protocol, with all audio processing occurring inside the Audio Engine. The mixing, routing and processing of audio is not dependant upon PCs. However, additional functionality, such as macro buttons, scene snapshots, intercoms, delay control and software tools interface to the system using the Supervisor PC application. Whilst Supervisor is not a requirement to run a Logitek Console Router System, most systems are now sold with this PC suite, as it unlocks the true power of the Logitek system. The Mosaic surface contains many programmable buttons, which require scripting using CommandBuilder. The functionality for these buttons is then executed by Supervisor. If these buttons are performing on-air critical functions, such as delay control or studio switching, running a Dual Supervisor configuration is highly recommended.

Logitek3 Physical Installation

3 Physical Installation The Mosaic surface is designed to be mounted in a desk cutout in a permanent studio installation. The Meter Bridge can be screwed to the desk and mounted using the supplied mounting brackets.

Power Supply Unit The Power Supply Unit is a 2-RU sized rack mount box, designed for mounting in an under-desk studio rack. If the supplied cables are not long enough to allow for convenient mounting, custom length cables are readily available. The Power Supply is suitable for mounting in a studio environment and has been designed to be silent. The modules are a low-noise type and all electronics is solid-state (no mechanical relays). The Power Supply contains one or two switch-mode supply modules, with a power indicator for each module on the front panel. Power inlet is via a single IEC connector on the rear of the Power Supply Unit. A power cable is supplied only for US installations. International customers may contact their reseller for the supply of power cables if required. As the power supplies are of switch-mode type, there is no voltage selection required.

Mosaic Frames A number of Mosaic frame sizes are available, depending on the total number of faders and control modules. Each module takes up either one or two “slots” in the frame. The Fader, Monitor, Processing and Wide Softkey modules take two slots. The Narrow Softkey and Blank Panel take up one slot. The frame will be shipped with the modules connected and fitted as ordered. These modules can be moved if desired. If moving modules, please retain the same internal COM port connections as the surface shipped with. If the COM port connections are changed, the device addressing for those modules will change.

Meter Bridges Two sizes of Meter Bridge are available. The Wide Bridge includes one high-resolution program meter, and 6 color LCD screens for text, clocks and other meters. The Narrow Bridge also includes the high-resolution meter, with two color LCD screens. In addition, a special version of the Wide Bridge is available with space for two horizontal Narrow Softkey modules, providing additional programmable softkey buttons.

Mounting Narrow & Wide Bridges supplied in 2005 have a flange at the bottom of each foot to allow

the assembly to be screwed into the furniture. Systems supplied in 2006 and beyond will have mounting brackets that bolt directly to the

rear of the console frame, removing the need for separate mounting holes in the furniture. The Wide Bridge with Button Riser still requires mounting to the studio furniture.

Logitek3 Physical Installation

Connections The Mosaic Power Supply Unit contains the control and GPI circuitry for the console. It connects to the Logitek Audio Engine via a serial link. The Power Supply Unit connects to the Surface using one or two 25-pair “Telco” cables. These cables carry the communication between each module and the Power Supply Unit.

Figure 8 - Mosaic Connection Diagram

Surface to PSU For the MLX-F10 and MLX-F17 frames, a single 25-pair Telco cable connects Power Supply Unit to the Surface. For the MLX-F24 and MLX-F32 frames, two of these cables are used. The required cables will be supplied with your Mosaic. The length of these Standard cables is 10’ (3m). If the supplied cables are not long enough, you can order Telco style cables from Logitek Electronic Systems or a local supplier. The connectors are standard Telco style 50-pin Centronics Male plugs, wired straight through (all pairs connected). Alternative wiring schemes may reverse or drop pairs, so please ensure you specify straight through wiring if purchasing custom-made cables.

See Appendix B for connector pinouts.

Page 16: Logitek€¦ · 13.01.2005  · 1 Logitek Introduction 1 Introduction About this Manual This manual describes the installation and operation of the Logitek Mosaic control surface

Logitek3 Physical Installation

Surface to Meter Bridge The Meter Bridge has a short 4-wire cable with an RJ-11 connector on the end. This is plugged into the port labeled COM12. The cable length is suitable to mount the meter bridge behind the Mosaic frame. If alternative wiring is required, this can be replaced with a custom made cable using flat telephone cable and RJ11 connectors.

Internal Module Connections Inside the frame, the one or two 25-pair connectors (depending on frame size) are broken out to individual port connections. There is generally no requirement to replace these cables, as the lengths are made to suit the position of each module.

PSU to Audio Engine The Mosaic Power Supply Unit connects to the Logitek Audio Engine using a balanced serial link. Standard CAT5 or better cabling is recommended. The cable required will depend on the type of controller card and connectors in the Audio Engine. New systems are supplied with the AE-C6 controller card, which connects using an RJ45 at the Audio Engine and Mosaic. Older Engines running the AE-C2 card (supplied in 2004 or earlier) have a DB9 connection at the Audio Engine. The Mosaic is supplied with a CAT5 patch lead, to connect the AE-C6 to the Mosaic Power Supply Unit. This lead is sufficient for testing purposes; however, the Audio Engine will normally be located away from on-air studios. You can use a dedicated CAT5 cable or existing structured cabling. If using structured cabling systems, care should be exercised to ensure the Audio Engine connections are not confused with other network outlets and that the link is not unintentionally “un-patched”.

See Appendix B for connector pinouts.

Logitek3 Physical Installation

GPIs The Mosaic Surface has 25 GPI inputs and outputs for control of local studio devices. GPI outputs are driven by optically-isolated, non-polarized, solid state switches, rated at 500ma at 50V AC/DC, with surge to 2A. These solid state devices do not conduct at low voltage, so cannot switch an audio input. However, they are suitable for most control signals, and avoid problems with relay contacts being damaged by surges. Caution should be exercised to avoid overloading the switches. If driving a high current device, we recommend driving an external relay or switch. The GPI inputs are a current source to +5VDC that is pulled to ground to activate. This makes it suitable for control by push-button, relay or open collector. A diode protects against static and over voltage. See the wiring diagram for polarity information if using non-standard activation methods. GPI connectors are on Telco style 50-pin Centronics. As wiring schemes vary from station to station, these cables are not supplied with the surface, but are available from Logitek Electronic Systems. They can also be purchased from local suppliers in the required form. Wiring is straight-through style, with Pair 1 corresponding to GPI #1 and so on. A male AMP style 50-pin connector is required to connect to the Mosaic Power Supply Unit. We suggest ordering a single-ended cable with tails for punch-down to Krone style block or similar. There is one connector for GPI inputs and another for GPI outputs.

See Appendix B for connector pinouts.

Logitek4 Configuration

4 Configuration This chapter covers basic configuration information, relating specifically to the Mosaic surface. Audio Engine setup and configuration is covered in detail in the following manuals:

Logitek Audio Engine User’s Manual Logitek AEConfig User’s Manual

COM Port Configuration The Mosaic contains 12 COM ports per 25-pair connector from the Power Supply Unit. These ports are internally mounted to connect to each module, with one external COM port to connect to the Meter Bridge. By default, the Device Address to Com Port map is set inside the Mosaic Power Supply Unit firmware, and will suit most installations. The defaults are shown on the following page. Mosaic v2 adds the ability to change the Com Port mapping, using hex commands sent from Supervisor. These are stored in the power supply’s non-volatile RAM, so don’t need to be sent each power up.

See Appendix E for Mosaic configuration commands.

Audio Engine Configuration Configuration of the Audio Engine is done in AEConfig. Currently, there are no specific features that are set by AEConfig – configuration is as per other Logitek Surfaces. Currently, AEConfig does not include specific DSP table entries for the Mosaic. You should use a Numix surface of the next nearest size when configuring a Mosaic. In the future, specific Mosaic support will be added to AEConfig, however, the two consoles are compatible in DSP allocations.

See the AEConfig User’s Manual for information on configuring Audio Engines.

CommandBuilder Triggers The Mosaic surface contains many programmable buttons and features. These features are scripted in “triggers” in CommandBuilder, and executed by Supervisor.

See the CommandBuilder User’s Manual for information on writing Triggers. The CommandBuilder manual includes details and examples of Mosaic specific features, such as Monitor Hotkeys, Colored On/Off Lamps, Multi-brightness lamps and more. The programming of these features does require a certain level of familiarity with the system. If you need assistance, please contact Logitek Electronic Systems or your reseller.

Page 19: Logitek€¦ · 13.01.2005  · 1 Logitek Introduction 1 Introduction About this Manual This manual describes the installation and operation of the Logitek Mosaic control surface

Logitek4 Configuration

Device & Bus Addressing Each device (such as a fader input or button panel) requires its own Device Number. Within that device, each button, lamp and feature has a Bus Number. Together, the Device and Bus Numbers allow the Audio Engine and Surface to communicate. When configuring the Mosaic’s programmable buttons in CommandBuilder, you will require the Device Number and Bus Number for each button or lamp. The information below will help you determine the addressing scheme in use on your Mosaic. As the layout of the Mosaic is extremely flexible, the addressing will vary and is usually unique to your station. Please note that addressing is configurable, and any defaults listed may have been overridden.

2 *

* Support for replication between dual Monitor, Wide Softkey or Bridge modules is scheduled for addition to Mosaic v2.2 software in 2006.

Device Numbers In Mosaic v1.x the Device Number of a module is determined by its firmware and position. In some cases, non-default port mapping was hard-coded into the ROM to suit user requirements. In Mosaic v2.0 and above (from November 2005), the Device Number allocated to COM ports is user configurable. An international set of default mappings is installed in the ROM, but this map is adjustable using ASM commands in your Init Trigger. When using Device addressing, we recommend you use the SURF# CHAN# notation in CommandBuilder. This provides more flexibility for future changes, and allows you to relocate the surface or re-use the code on another port by finding and replacing the SURF# instances. Shown below is the hex equivalent of the channels of a Surface connected to Audio Engine Port 1.

Dual Controls / Split Consoles The default Device Number map above has been designed to support split consoles operating in a “Dual Control” mode. However, as of Mosaic v2.1, replication of commands between modules is not current supported. This feature is planned for future implementation. In a Dual Control environment, the Mosaic PSU would connect to the two surface frames via the “Surface A” and “Surface B” connectors. Up to 16 faders could be supported on each surface, with mirrored Monitor Module, Wide Softkey and Meter Bridges in each.

Logitek5 Operation

5 Operation At first glance, your Logitek Mosaic may appear a little daunting. But if you’ve had experience with broadcast consoles before, you’ll soon be at home, finding your way around quite easily. Logitek Electronic Systems has been manufacturing broadcast consoles for decades, so we understand how to make control surfaces that are both powerful and straightforward. During the design of the Mosaic, customers and operators provided feedback that helped shape the final product. So we’re confident you’ll find the Mosaic a joy to use on-air. As much of the Mosaic is user-programmable, the specifics of how you use softkey functions will depend on your existing configuration. Following is a look at each of the modules, and how the standard functions are used.

Moving the FADER up or down will increase or decrease respectively the level of the assigned source. Fader range is from infinity to +10dB.

Each fader has illuminated OFF and ON push buttons for that channel. These are used to put sources to air, in conjunction with the PGM and AUX mix busses. Both the OFF and ON buttons can have GPI remote control of sources, if configured in your Audio Engine. In some cases, the operation of AUX busses may be configured to be independent of the ON/OFF switch and/or the Fader gain setting. The color of the Mosaic ON/OFF buttons is software configurable, to allow for input designation, state change, or other effects. In Mosaic v2, the ON / OFF buttons can be configured to swap positions.

Use the FCN (function) wheel to select the various input functions, such aextra Aux busses, mode, pan, trim, EQ, dynamics and Input selection. Seethe

Logitek5 Operation

MLX-FADER (Fader Module) – Screens The Fader Module has an LCD color screen shared between two faders. Illustrated below is the section for a single fader. The Mosaic is also supplied with vMosaic, a software tool which allows the fader screen to be replicated onto a PC screen for larger display.

Figure 12 - EQ Screen

Figure 10 - Function Screen Figure 11 - Dynamics

Screen Fader Number Faders are numbered from left to right starting at 01.

Alias / Label An Alias can be assigned to a source device and will be displayed on any fader that has that source as an input. A Label can be assigned to a specific fader or source. Both can only be a maximum of 8 characters and are displayed at the top section of the Fader Screen.

See the CommandBuilder manual for more information on Aliases and Labels.

Input Meter When a SharcAttack DSP card is fitted to the Audio Engine and is allocated to the Mosaic surface, an input meter is provided for each fader. By default this meter is pre-fader. Using recent SA-DSP firmware (March 2005 and later), this meter can be changed to post-fader by turning on BUS20 for that fader. This setting can be set in the Init Trigger or changed as required in other Triggers.

Gain Reduction Meter When a SharcAttack DSP card is fitted to the Audio Engine and is allocated to the Mosaic surface, a gain reduction meter is provided for each fader. This meter only appears when Dynamics is turned on for that fader, and shows the amount of gain reduction being applied by the compressor and limiter.

Logitek5 Operation

MLX-MON (Monitor Module) – Screen The Monitor Module has an LCD color screen which displays sources for the Guest/Studio, Headphones and Monitor sends. Pictured below is the screen showing various sources.

Figure 13 - MLX-34 Screen For each input, the following information is displayed.

Current Source This is displayed in large white text, either 8 or 16 characters. In 16-character mode, the display is across two lines (this requires a 16-character version of the Audio Engine).

Last Source The last used input is displayed in small, light-blue text above the current input. The Last button is used to toggle between two sources. A series of dashes indicates there is no last source.

Gain Position The Headphones and Monitor sections of the screen contain a small bar which indicates the gain to those sends. The Guest/Studio send has a gain pot rather than an encoder, and therefore no screen display is required. In addition, gain to the guest headphones is more often set by a remote control to the headphone amplifier itself.

Source List When the Input wheel is moved, a box will appear to display the source list. Move the wheel to scroll through the list, and use the Take button to select a source input.

This section documents Logitek Protocol commands specific to the ccontrols and advanced feature sets.

The standard sefader level; etc, is documented in the Logitek

The commands and busses in this section have been added for Mosaic v2.x and are not supported in v1.x versions.

MThe B he standard busses available in the Logitek system.

Fader Devices BUS16 Channel Off (bottom) button lamp address BUS17 Channel On (top) button lamp address These two Busses are used to address Mosaic Color or Flash commands to the fader ON and OFF buttons. The lamp state is not addressed by these; instead it is tied to the channel’s BUS0 state. If the function of the OFF and ON buttons has been swapped, the above commands will still address the bottom or top button lamp respectively (the lamps are still addressed with the position bus number, irrespective of function). BUS37 Select mode for “IN” button – OFF = last input / ON = default input BUS38 PGM bus lock (ON = locked) BUS39 AUX1 bus lock (ON = locked) BUS40 AUX2 bus lock (ON = locked) BUS41 AUX3 bus lock (ON = locked) BUS42 AUX4 bus lock (ON = locked) BUS43 AUX5 bus lock (ON = locked) BUS44 AUX6 bus lock (ON = locked) BUS45 AUX7 bus lock (ON = locked) BUS46 AUX8 bus lock (ON = locked) The above busses are used to set a lock on the PGM or AUX buttons on the Mosaic. If the bus is on, the respective PGM or AUX assignment button for that channel will not operate in the studio. These Busses could be set inside a Trigger to prevent an operator from changing assignments on certain faders.
